Re: LeBron James' buzzer-beating shot over Turkoglu to win Cavs-Magic Game 2
[QUOTE=Mikaiel]No there were not. The Cavs are a title contender. All hope was lost. The season was basically over. All Cavs fans were depressed, well, I know I was anyway. Down 0-2 with homecourt advantage, it's over.[/QUOTE]
Now that's just overreacting at its best.
0-2 isn't untouchable lead, it's playoffs, anything can happen and anyone can win anywhere.
As for depressed fans - every single arena looks and sounds depressed these days.
It's screaming when the team is up, and as soon as the game gets close, they shut up.

By anything can happen, do you mean Rashard Lewis could go crazy and go in the locker room and shoot both Dwight Howard and himself ? Yeah, I guess technically it's possible.
Re: LeBron James' buzzer-beating shot over Turkoglu to win Cavs-Magic Game 2
By anything can happen I mean - every game was won by 1 point.
So basically, it could've gone either way. It's not like Orlando blew Cleveland and then Cleveland came back in desperate attempt to save themselves.

[QUOTE=Riker]Me not liking James is my own preference. There are 10-20 exceptional players in the league, and I don't like every single one of them.
I rank James in NBA's top 3, sometimes he's the best, sometimes it's Kobe, sometimes it's Wade, depends on streaks, how they play, what games I watch.
I don't "hate" him literally, hate is a very strong word. I can't stand the fabricated hype, and that's about it.
And as shown in that picture, nobody ever will hear about those game winning shots.
But James makes one - and all of a sudden it's not only great - but HISTORICAL?
That can't be serious.[/QUOTE]watever :rolleyes:
[QUOTE=Riker]I don't know if it was you per se, but someone said this was the biggest shot in NBA history.
What the...? :wtf:[/QUOTE][I]No, you're wrong, it's not about his 3 pointer, it's about little [B]hypebeasts[/B] like yourself. [/I]
you called me a "hypebeast" so obviously you were implying that i was overrating and hyping up the shot (which isnt true) so tell me what i said to be labeled a "hypebeast"......
Re: LeBron James' buzzer-beating shot over Turkoglu to win Cavs-Magic Game 2
That shot was no doubt amazing people are going to remember this shot for many years to come but the nba is just making too much of a deal out of that shot. Hedo Turkoglu made 2 clutch buckets before James hit that 3 to win the game and Hedo is not even getting any credit for it

I like it when we get no credit ..just keep winning and I'll take the end result.

LOL at you trying to spin it as if a team losing the first two games at home in a 7 game series isn't a death sentence. You are really dedicated, aren't you?
Since I know you fancy yourself a knowledgable oldschool basketball fan, why don't you list all of the instances of a team with HCA coming back from 0-2 down in the 3rd or 4th round of the playoffs.

Laker fans and most people that follow the NBA remember Fishers .4 shot to steal the game. But no one talks about the huge clutch shots by Duncan right before it.
Lebrons shot will be remembered if the Cavs win the series. If they lose folks will remember "that season" that Orlando knocked off the team with the best record to get to the finals, and that shot will fade away.
Re: LeBron James' buzzer-beating shot over Turkoglu to win Cavs-Magic Game 2
[QUOTE=Mamba]i honestly think cleveland has somewhat gotten into orlando's head with that shot.
i mean orlando is always the team that comes from behind, and ends up getting the win off there three pointers.
but after that.
orlando must be bitting shricks.[/QUOTE]Nice call.

Re: LeBron James' buzzer-beating shot over Turkoglu to win Cavs-Magic Game 2
I`m fan of NBA basketball and all , and just for that one shot before it was inbounded i first thought to myself " what if NBA really do have "magnets" " lol i`m certainly not denying the talent of Lebron or anything , but somehow it was suspicious it was so epic that it seemed scripted. ( Pardon for english grammar. )

Re: LeBron James' buzzer-beating shot over Turkoglu to win Cavs-Magic Game 2
This thread shouldnt even exist no more provided the fact that magic are up 3-1. People are going to remember this shot only if they win this series but right now the chances are slim
Re: LeBron James' buzzer-beating shot over Turkoglu to win Cavs-Magic Game 2
Like I said this that shot reminded me of Kobe's game winner during game two of the 2004 NBA Finals. People overhyped this one real quick as well.

Good comparision. Everybody thought that shot "saved" the Lakers in '04, but all it did was delay the undeniable fact. The Pistons were just way better than that Laker team. Same thing with this Magic/Cavs series.
Re: LeBron James' buzzer-beating shot over Turkoglu to win Cavs-Magic Game 2
LOL someone need to remove this damn thread. Cavaliers arent even going to be in the final so dat shot doesnt really matter
